I assume you had the interior redone. Beauty goes deeper then the skin. Let us see how your car compares to the new C7 in other areas beside the exterior design. Including the new drive train technology. Just saying...

+2... I like that rendering and think it looks very sharp.

If that is close, I thing the C7 will be easier to accept than the C6 was for me... That took a while.

I totally agree - very depressing!

I have a C6 and will probably go for a C7 in a couple of years. The biggest obstacle is garage space. I don't want to get rid of my C6. I want to add a C7 to the collection. If I could figure out a way to do it I would love to have at least one of every generation. They are all timeless designs in their own right.
In fact, I could probably find at least two must have C1's, C2's, & C3's that I would love to have.

The car looks awesome, good stance no gap in the wheel well good air flow, looks very stable at speed, love the flowing lines of the quarter window, but I hope the interior is done correct not the crap of the past, and no wide fenders for Z package, that would just ruin the look, and hurt top speed. If the interior is done correct I'm in for the 15 model, if not I'm keeping my SL...JMO

Default C7 tidbits from the SD Auto Show GM guy

No names, he has seen it, he said the "Camaro" tail lights are a yes but his opinion not that bad.

Young guy who has owned a couple & has tracked them.

Also said it'll have a seven speed stick tranny plus the auto.

Sorry if these are already in the thread, I wasn't going to scan the full thread.

Default I don't hate it, and I don't love it.

I think I'll keep my C6 for a while longer, but it does look a bit catchy, excepting the tail lights.
I would like to see the interior, and the actual road mechanics of it before saying hell no / hell yes.
And being the first year of a new engine and design, I'll wait a year or so to let GM work out all the bugs before I make a decision.

Nice body style. That's a keeper in my book.
